5.5.4 Circular spigot
The "Circular spigot" function is used when you want to mill a circular
spigot.
In addition to the required circular spigot, you must also define a blank
spigot, i.e. the outer limits of the material. The tool moves at rapid
traverse outside this area. The blank spigot must not overlap any
adjacent blank spigots. ShopTurn automatically centers the finished
spigot within the blank.
The spigot is machined using only one infeed. If you want to machine
the spigot using multiple infeeds, you must program the "Circular
spigot" function several times with a reducing finishing allowance.
Approach/retraction
1. The tool approaches the starting point at rapid traverse at the
height of the retraction plane and adjusts to the safety clearance.
The starting point is always on the positive X axis.
2. The tool traverses the spigot contour sideways in a semicircle at
machining feed. The tool first executes infeed at machining depth
and then moves in the plane. The spigot is machined as a function
of the programmed machining direction (climb/conventional) in a
clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
3. When the spigot has been circumnavigated once, the tool retracts
from the contour in the plane in a semicircle and then infeeds to
the next machining depth.
4. The spigot is approached again in a semicircle and
circumnavigated once. The process is repeated until the
programmed spigot depth has been reached.
5. The tool moves back to the safety clearance at rapid traverse.
